IMO it's dumb how they let the same guy shoot over and over again in the shootout; in the NHL, you have to go through the whole team, you can't have the same guy taking every shot. But hey, it worked for USA

There are three types of people in the world, my friend: those who can add, and those who can't.

moviesceleton, I wouldn't celebrate bronze. in individual events maybe, but when it comes to the hockey tournament, it's gold or bust. So, we're all bust

I'm rooting for Sweden to win; mainly cuz my favorite athlete in the world is Henrik Lundqvist, so once USA is out, I root for him.

Very disappointed about USA losing to Canada. (I don't give much of a damn about losing the bronze medal game; especially cuz we won silver in Vancouver, it was gold or bust now. And we went bust.) Of course, part of any tournament is luck of the draw. If we wouldn't have played Canada till the gold medal game, maybe we'd have reached that game. Who knows. You gotta play the draw. So USA is probably among the top 2-5 teams in the world, but we gotta get that gold already. I am sick and tired of hearing about 1980

USA comes in second place (28 medals, to Russia's 33), but USA only had 9 golds, behind Russia (13), Norway (11), and Canada (10). Overall, this was a pretty disappointing Olympics from Team USA, especially after an amazing performance in Vancouver in 2010. And the only reason USA did win 28 medals is cuz we kicked ass in the new sports; if all these new events hadn't been added, it woulda been an awful Olympics for USA.

-- USA takes back the gold in th4 4X100 mens swimming relay. USA had won this event in 2008 in a major comeback (remember Jason Lezack chasing down the Frenchie in the last 25 meters!), France won in 2012, but USA took it back this year.

-- There is probably a bigger gap between Katie Ledecky and those competing against her, as there has ever been in sports history since Babe Ruth hit more home runs than any other American League TEAM in 1927.

-- Simone Biles is obviously the greatest gymnnast in the world. By the time she's done, she may be the greatest in history. The USA is heavily favored to win team all around, Biles is heavily favored to win individual all around, and Biles may win up to 3 of the 4 gold medals in individual disciplines.

Saw Team USA in gymnastics last night. The whole team is incredible. The newbie, Laurie Fernandez, amazing in floor exercise. So was Aly Raisman. Gabby Douglas has lost some of her luster compared with her legendary performance in 2012.

Shaping up to be an exciting Olympics!

It's been an incredible Olympics thus far for the USA. Team gold in women's gymnastics, gold and silver in individual all-around women's gymnastics; four golds thus far for Michael Phelps; 3 for Katie Ledecky. This USA team is the greatest female gymnastics team ever, Simone Biles is the greatest female gymnast ever, Michael Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever, and by the time she is done Katie Ledecky will probably be the greatest female swimmer ever. And none of this is hyperbole

Yup, it's been great viewing

After the 6th day of competition, USA leads with 16 golds and 38 total medals; China is second with 11 golds and 30 total medals.Still some swimming events to come (Phelps and Ledecky each going for more golds!) and individual events in female gymnastics; then track and field coming up next week

I am upset that the National Hockey League is not allowing its players to participate in the Olympics this year. The Olympic hockey games with NHL players are among my quadrennial highlights. I am boycotting the NHL during the Olympics

Watching short-track skating now on my DVR
